"Sorry, been a while since I played."Lama says, " I thought the saying was the will of the force, but, meh" Lama shrugs when he says the final word.

"Well I'm OK with it, I think I got a hold of it now," Wyre responds.

""Well, if you want to," Wale replies.

"Alright, well, let's go ahead and play Lama's way," Larik says. "Keep it friendly. Play for a few credits and bragging rights."

The cards get thrown and, again, Larik comes out ahead. He knows he's done nothing wrong, but feels guilty nonetheless.

"OK, tell you what," he says. "Let's end it here and call it good. Any of you want to come for your credits, I'm here."

"Nah, you earned them pretty **** well." Wyre says, "Besides we're here, get settled in your ship, the ceremony is tomorrow." (OOC: Use this time to get antiquated with Wrex again or RP learning the Force abilities you earned.)

As the Tomkah pulls to a stop, Naught stands up and immediately exits the vehicle, inwardly relieved to be able to seek some time to process things. She heads to the Rusty Mynock and seeks out Arkady to see how he is doing. Finding him in the hold, she assumes a meditative postures and communes with the Acklay, telling him about what happened through images and feelings as she sorts through her own thoughts. The rush of combat and the whirlwind of emotions seeking to drive her use of the Force, her awe at the emergence of the Thresher Maw, its pain and rage as it sought to destroy them, and her own desire to reach out to the worm's mind and quiet that rage, rather than having to kill it. As she sets her mind in order through communicating to Arkday, the Acklay responds with feelings of respect for the Thresher Maw and the fight it gave as well as understanding towards Naught, and something clicks in her mind. A technique takes form, that will allow her to touch the minds of those not bonded to her and to influence them, if only in a rudimentary fashion. Silently thanking the Acklay, Naught leads him out of the ship so that he may see the planet for himself and roam around a bit in the open air. Looking out at the dusty planet, Naught breathes through her respirator a little more easily.

Khit ducks out of the Tomkah as soon as it stops, looking to avoid any awkward situations. But most of all she is keen to find Arkday, she has to learn more about this new way she discovered to use the force. When Naught and Khit find the giant animal they discuss their separate ideas, Khit finds a comfortable spot to sit and begins relaxing her mind as instructed. The Acklay shows her the technique she used, then 5 more ways that she can easily enhance her strength and reflexes. The depth of this technique is impressive. There are hints of more there but when Khit questions of them the Acklay implies more practice will be required, she needs to master what she has learned first.

Khit then goes to her faithful mount Gupgup, checking that he is well fed and cared for. She also feeds herself then settles down for the night, contemplating the actions she took during the day, wondering if killing such an Elder of a species was really worth the sacrifice.

Mulak exits the vehicle slowly and looks around in bewilderment. "Alot has changed," hes says to himself. "I can can see the off worlder influence in almost everything."

Mulak looks around for Larik. He was very quite in the Tomkah and was heard these off worlders talk about the force. He felt that Larik would be a good one to talk to about his visions while in the belly of the Thresher.

When he see that Larik is free he approaches and says," excuse me off worlder, I don't think we have properly met. My name is Mulak warrior of the Krogan. I have a question for you. I had a vision while i was unconscious in the Ancient. A vision of you." " Do you anything of what that could mean?"

Listening to the conversation between the Krogan and Larik, Wale pipes in, "I would know someone, but you got to promise not to hurt him, as doing so will get you killed."

Lama walks out of the Tomkah, and enters the main area of the shuttle, along with Khit and Naught. When he communes with the Force to help him reassemble his Lightsaber, he hears a voice in his head. "Let me help you."The voice says, "Trust me, let me show you the ancient ways." it continues, "My kind was hunted by wielders of Force swords eons ago, we saw how they made them."It says. "Then, show me." Lama thinks back, and suddenly a vision fills his eyes. He sees a forge, and near the forge a man in simple robes, talking to some younger people. "Use the force to stretch the metal, use it to bend the metal. See the final result and then do it. make the metal an extension of your own mind."The elder says, and then the vision ends. Lama wakes up staring directly into Arkady's eyes, "Your not actually that bad, are you?"Lama says, "Thank you, friend."L@m@ finishes. Then doing as the elder in his vision says, he sees the finished result before making it. When he opens his eyes he sees a spectacular sabre. looking at it he realises that the crystal chamber is open, and there are two slots in it, and that the hilt is longer than usual. He puts his new crystal in one slot, and his old crystal in another. When he ignites the blade, after aligning the crystal holder in position that the new crystal would ignite, a blade shoots out forward, and a blade also shoots out one to either side, right and left, of the hilt. "Thank you, again my friend." Lama mummers as he passes Arkady on his way out.

When he sees what Naught is doing, he walks over to her, "Do you want help? I believe I might be more skilled in this area of expertise."Lama asks her.

Larik gives Mulak a quizzical look.

"You had a vision of me specifically," he asks. "Not us as a whole group? Just me? I genuinely have no idea but I'm intrigued. Can you tell me more about your vision?"

Seeing that Khit has brought her mount out and can keep an eye out for Arkady, Naught returns to the ship with some of the scavenged components and begins attempting to build a lightsaber. As Lama comes over to offer help, she replies "Thank you for the kind offer," as she attempts to fit two pieces of shaped metal together, "but the lore this Gand has found places great emphasis on the personal nature of the lightsaber and its construction. Though it may take this Gand some time to get things right, this Gand will abide by that tradition." Naught continues piecing the hilt together, despite a nagging intuition that something isn't right. Though this attempt may be a failure, she thinks, more will be learned if it is carried through as far as possible.

"Just how many beings know of this condition?" He says to Wale. "I very much would like to meet this person. But why would I want to kill him?"

Because it ain't a person, it's a dangerous animal, that I have befriended.

Larik grabs Mulak's shoulder and spins him around in an uncharacteristicly angry fashion.

"Hey! You still haven't answered my question! Were you talking about me specifically and what did you see?!"

"Sorry Larik. I got side tracked. The thought of a dangerous encounter with someone or some thing", he says turning to Wale. "I was intrigued."

"The first vision I had was when I fought the Ancient. I knew I could not win. But then I had a quick vision of being eaten and then emerging from the beast. And for some reason I threw my blade down and allowed my self to be swallowed."

But while unconscious I had a vision of a being...you. Since my time in the beast I can feel more. Like I can feel those around me you, Wale and the others. I also spoke with the Ancient for a time until I slept. Could I bee some sort of Shaman?"

"I would like to also meet this creature and see If I am able to touch it's mind like I did the Maw."

Larik is mortified by how quickly he lost his temper. It's not like him at all to be that way. He wonders if the inherent violence of the Krogan home world is affecting him more than he had previously thought.

"Mulak, I'm sorry. That was out of line. Your revelation just took me by surprise. Wale's right, he does know of a being that might be able to answer some of your questions, but I'd say it's pretty likely that you have a connection to a great power in the galaxy. People with such a connection have been called many things including shaman. I'll help get your answers. I have a few questions of my own now.

"If you'll excuse me, I need to go spend some time with a friend and sort some of this out."

Larik clasps Mulak on the shoulder and heads toward Arkady.

Mulak clasps his chest in a sign of respect. "Thank you Larik. This greater power excites me and I definitely would like to learn more."

Turning to Wale he says, "Now can you tell me where I would find this beast?"

Walking away from Mulak, Larik focuses on calming himself and finding his center. It wouldn't be appropriate to bring his negative feelings with him to commune with Arkady.

Relief and comfort wash over him as he gets closer to the acklay and any remaining darkness is pushed out entirely when he reaches out with his right arm and lays his hand gently on Arkady's back. He closes his eyes and sends his thoughts to the beast.

"I need to learn how to be more prepared," he thinks. "My mother taught me to duel, but I don't think she ever expected me to actually do any combat. I feel like I'm missing important training to improve my defenses. I have to be quicker and know things are going to happen before they do. Is there anything you can teach me so I can keep us all safer?"

While the acklay is incapable of communication in the traditional sense, Larik starts to feel safer and more aware of his surroundings. He has a vision himself surrounded by an unseen sphere and when the boundaries are broken, he can feel it the same as he can if someone physically reaches out and touches him.

Larik thanks Arkady and retires to his quarters on the ship to meditate and practice this new sense the acklay taught him while he waits for the feast to start.

(To Mulak) "In there, be calm, and reach out with your thoughts, and you'll convene with his mother through him. She will teach you things you could not begin to imagine," Says Wale.

Mulak nods and says,"thank you." He heads inside feeling a little mervous but confident that he will find the answers he is looking for.

Once inside he closes his eyes and focuses on the creature. "What can you tell me of this connection I have to things around me?"

After crashing on the planet, Jayson drove his speeder to the nearest sign of civilisation. Unfourtanetly, there wasn't much sign of it. So, he just drove his speeder around. Finally, after days of driving, he found a ship campsite. It was inhabited, by potential hostiles but still,it was inhabited. When he drove down to where it was on his swoop. He says, "I come in peace I don't mean to harm you. Can you give me transport off this planet. Do you know of the nearest Bounty Hunter help facility? Either one would be appreciated."

(The Guardian to Mulak) images of death and destruction cloud your mind, followed by images of peace, peace in death, but also in life.
